A three-dimensional object modeling method may include applying a nonrotating nonuniform electric field to apply a dielectrophoretic torque to a three-dimensional object to rotate the three-dimensional object, capturing images of the object at different angles during rotation of the object and forming a three-dimensional model of the object based on the captured images.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A three-dimensional object modeling method comprising: applying a nonrotating nonuniform electric field to apply a dielectrophoretic torque to a three-dimensional object to rotate the three-dimensional object; capturing images of the object at different angles of the object during rotation of the object; and forming a three-dimensional model of the object based on the captured images, wherein forming the three-dimensional model of the object based on the captured images further comprises matching the captured images to a three-dimensional volumetric template corresponding to the rotating object.
